Chapter 5: 'Playing' and Nightmare
Shen Yue entered the courtyard of the city lord's mansion and saw to little beautiful girls, one orange haired and the other purple haired, they wore small little dressed that little girls their age should wear though theirs were fancier.
The girls noticed Shen Yue and headed his way.
"Brother Yue (Yue Gege), where were you? I was going to play with you but you weren't there." Said the girl with short purple hair, she was Ye Ziyun, the girl that Nie Li has a never ending crush on. She had filled her cheeks with air creating a pout to indicate to Shen Yue she was not happy with him. Typical.
Shen Yue inwardly rolled his eyes before looking into her eyes and saying, " Sorry sister Ye Ziyun, I recently joined the Secret Treasure Pavilion, I have a master, so I need to attend morning session from now on." Shen Yue scratched the back of his head like a certain muscular spiky haired shounen protagonist to show his embarrassment.
"Oh I see, then we'll play in the afternoon from now on!" smiled Ye Ziyun."But didn't I tell you to call me sister Ziyun (Ziyun Meimei), when you say 'Sister Ye Ziyun' you don't show me respect by using my full name, next time you say my name like that I won't talk to you ever again."
' Snot-nose brat, do you think I give a fuck? Acting all spoiled in front of me, young master here would have gave you a spanking' said Shen Yue within his mind. "Sorry Sister Ziyun (Ziyun Meimei)"
"That's better, I forgive you" Smiled Ye Ziyun, they both heard a sentence over to their side that caused them both look over to Xiao Ning'er who was looking a them 'argue' like a married couple.
"You look like a couple." said Xiao Ning'er
"Sister Ning'er, you can't say things like that." Ye Ziyun said with a slight blush on her cheeks, at least she didn't over exaggerate by scream and hitting Shen Yue like some stupid bees in anime.
Xiao Ning'ers and Shen Yue's relationship with each other wasn't that of friends but acquaintances as Xiao Ning'er has slight hate for Shen Yue because of his family and her betrothal to his brother when she didn't want to. But she's still fine with Shen Yue as she didn't see the evil-side of him yet so she considered him just a normal rich kid, she didn't care about him.
"Would you like to play Cuju with us brother Shen Yue?" said Xiao Ning'er as she was picked up the ball beneath her feet looking at Shen Yue.
"Sure" smiled Shen Yue 'football, huh, these little girls don't know that they just met with the football demon' as Shen Yue chuckled slightly which made him slightly weird in the eyes of the girls.
"Okay, here's how this is going to go. Me and Sister Ziyun will at the sides and you will be in the middle. We will pass it to each other whilst you have to try to catch the ball."
"Okay." 'Damn it! Piggy in the middle, why'd she pick that game, the level of difficulty rose to over 9000 now! She really must hate me.'
So they went to the grassy patch in the courtyard that had an area of about 20-30 square meters, they positioned themselves in their respective places and have begun the game.
At first Shen Yue was losing, every time the girls passed he was always five seconds late from reaching the ball which was more than enough for the girls to get the ball.
Shen Yue realised something whilst playing. He wasn't used to the body, he couldn't control it properly and use it effectively which means that he needs to learn how to use it otherwise he'll be screwed.
This time Shen Yue tried to use a slide tackle to get the ball, only using his foot to reach the ball quicker not to snatch it cause he might hurt them then he'll get in trouble.
When Shen Yue used a slide tackle it caught them by surprise but they quickly regained themselves and passed it to one another again, unperturbed.
The reason was that Shen Yue had a hard time making himself slide, which reduced time and speed meaning he didn't reach in time yet again. Shen Yue tried a different tactic, by moving his body to the opposite way he would trick his opponent into going the direction he wanted to. It failed as he needed more time to turn back the other way which reduced his speed.
Every failure was because he lacked good coordination with his body and mind, he lacked good control with his body, this body was new to him after all. Shen Yue kept trying to switch techniques to confuse them whilst also getting used to his body.
"Look at that, the kid can't even reach those two girls. What a pathetic boy, is he even a boy he runs like a girl back and forth, what a loser, guess those rich kids are all nothing but talk." laughed a city lord's mansion servant.
"Yeah, I agree. They are nothing but a waste of air." said another servant.
The servants that were watching them secretly were laughing at the fact that a boy, who should be physically better than those girls, was losing. They were laughing round the corners calling him losers when those fricking servants are hypocrites since they have an occupation called 'servant' which means 'bitch' in other words.
Few minutes later...
The girls were getting bored of the game.
"Sister Ziyun, I'm bored."
"Yeah me too. Do you want to play xiangqi (chinese chess)?"
"Sure." they both smiled until...
HA
Shen Yue managed to slide tackle the ball before Ye Ziyun could get the ball.
"Brother Yue, you finally managed to get ball. Today you were playing differently than before, you used to be good and now you can't even get a simple ball from us until now. Is there a problem? are you feeling sick?" said Ye Ziyun.
'bitch' "No no. I was simply trying to train my coordination whilst playing, I was making it hard for myself by overexerting too much force. I better go now since I am tired and need to rest. See ya tomorrow." waved Shen Yue before disappearing from the premise.
At Home.
Shen Yue and his bastard brother Shen Fei were facing their father who was sitting on the 'throne', standing next to him was Shen Ming but slightly away making Shen Hong the one in front, showing he's the leader.
"Yue'er, Fei'er. Both of you know that in the next three months there will be the family younger generation tournament, Yue'er you won't be attending but you Fei'er will be, so I want you to train harder than before in those three months and you'd better win. But from now on, Yue'er you won't be slacking off either as I want you to attend the next family younger generation tournament as well and gain a good position, if both of you's get a decent placing I will let you on family business." smiled Shen Hong.
"Thank you father!" Both the brothers said before they walked off into their respective places. When they stepped out of the door Shen Fei whispered in Shen Yue's ear.
"Listen hear you little piece of demon spirit crap. I want you to lose next year's tournament even before it happens. I want you to stay out of my way and be a useless piece of crap, got that you crap?" smiled Shen Fei before raising his fist indicating that he will hit Shen Yue.
"Do I give a damn?" smiled Shen Yue before walking off.
"You're lucky father can still hear us otherwise I would have broken your bones, you crap." shouted Shen Fei.
Shen Yue took off his Hanfu and dressed into his night gown ready to sleep.
"Good night shit world." sighed Shen Yue as he closed his eyelids and feel into the deep darkness called sleep.
...
In the darkness, faint blacker figures with dirty greenish pattern on them, they had red blood staining certain parts of them.
"Elder Brother why did you leave me. You said you wouldn't leave me." said a figure that had a shape and voice of a little kid.
"Elder Brother, you promised US!" screamed a figure of a little girl with a voice of a little girl.
"Why?" said a maturer lady voice
"Leaving the family, you betrayed us." said a cold voice of a man with a muscular build.
"YOU LEFT US!" They all screamed in unison as blood could be visibly seen flowing down the black sclera with their white eyes piercing him.
Shen Yue was scared. He couldn't say anything. Shen Yue screamed!
"Who the fuck are you!!" the voice range throughout the darkness."Leave me Alone!!"
The scary figures were getting closer to him, they got him cornered as they blocked all four directions, no escape for Shen Yue.
HAAAA!
Shen Yue screamed as loud as he can before waking up in the middle of the night.
'Who the fuck were they, was I that important to them? Does this link with what I said before, when I was staring at the moon before? I guess I'll be hunted by these unknown figures that call me family, I don't remember anything though.'
